This cottage is perfect. It was spotless and up to date. The bed to sleep on was perfect The position to where it is in Saint Ives is in walking distance of the beach and all the shops I couldn’t have asked for more. I personally thank The Cottage Boutique for the cheese, bread, the wine, the crackers and the chocolate. The welcoming pack was very much appreciated and unexpected being on my own. I felt very safe. There are locks on the front and back door. The bedroom kitchen and the bathroom were very clean. There is a local bus service, two minutes round the corner if needed.

This small cottage was perfect for us. It is close to everything and parking just round the corner at Stennack car park. The Cornish Deli, just round the corner is great for breakfast as is the yellow canary - great coffee! Can definitely recommend this property. The Cottage Boutique were responsive when we had a small issue with the key safe (user error!). Lovely gift pack, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.

Lovely little bolthole for a short stay, kitted out with everything we needed, with some kind treats waiting for us on arrival. The bed was very comfortable! Loved the stable style front door - we often had the upper door open while relaxing on the sofa. Very handy being 5 mins walk to shops and restaurants and 10 to beaches.
Jocelyn - March 2025
Really nice cottage, clean with good amenities. Great location in the centre of St Ives while still being quiet. Communication from The Cottage Boutique was also good. Would recommend.
Alex - March 2025
We had a lovely stay here for 5 days. Great location and perfect for walking down to the Harbour, beaches, pubs etc. We would definitely stay again. The place was clean and tidy, with a lovely comfy bed. Thanks again.
Kate - March 2025
This cosy cottage is walking distance to the train station, beaches, lovely restaurants and cafes, and a very nearby grocery store. A great value and a communicative and professional host.

Perfect location and a lovely little place to stay
Lou - February 2025
The cottage exceeded our expectations which is highly unusual. It was beautifully presented and has had a great refurbishment with very clever use of the space and features. Everything was cosy and clean. There was a proper and very comfy sofa, something that many holiday cottages fall short on. A very well equipped kitchen, nice lighting, a cosy lounge with a great log burner and under floor heating, a very comfy bed and pillows. Lots of clever spaces to put all your own things. A nice bathroom with decent shower and again lots of places to put all your stuff. Parking worked out easily enough at the Barnoon Long Stay which we pre-paid for a week using their app. We really enjoyed our week and would definitely return.

John and Debbie - November 2024
A very cosy, comfortable place to stay. Very convenient for everything in St Ives. I would definitely stay there again.
Gill - November 2024
This was a wonderful little cottage in a great location, which I would definitely stay at again. In a quiet street but a very short walk to the beach and nice restaurants. The house was very clean, comfortable and had everything I needed, and I loved the chocolate, cheese and other treats in the fridge upon arrival! The bathroom was pristine, the bed was really comfy, and the kitchen well equipped. I travelled by car and left the car in the Trenwith car park for the week (this is a car park where you can always get a space, and I recommend buying a weekly ticket beforehand). Communication was good from booking through to my stay. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Great cottage for a couple in the heart of St Ives - but importantly on a quiet road making a stay very peaceful. Has everything one needs with a kitchen providing everything, a cosy living room, wonderful bedroom and bathroom (very good shower). The Cottage Boutique were very communicative and informative making the stay very easy. We know St Ives well - and this is an excellent place to stay close to the centre and all the amenities. It is less than 50 metres from the Cornish Deli - best ever breakfast/brunch in the world (our favourite).
Rob - March 2024
A really gorgeous little place. I had everything i needed and more (thank you for the local goods on arrival!). One of the best cottages I have stayed in.

Shellseekers Cottage, St Ives, is a joyful discovery of a place. The cottage has been so tastefully and cleverly renovated, to get maximum use from this cosy space. It is beautifully decorated throughout, with a gorgeous selection of original art adorning the walls. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the living room and bedroom are extremely cosy, with good lighting. The bathroom has a great roomy shower, good water pressure and hot water A comfy king size bed tops everything off! The location is just perfect, a quiet side/back street, but 5 min walk to the centre! Such a wonderfully genuine and professional welcome, with a generous selection of locally produced goodies. Very thoughtful! We immediately felt relaxed and at home, and excited to be there. The cottage has a very special, cosy atmosphere and is so comfortable! We would call it a Home from Home! We would highly recommend this place, and hope to be back! Well done Cottage Boutique, five stars!

The Cottage Boutique were wonderful, great communication and made the stay feel personal with welcome gifts of local produce, the cottage was perfect for what we needed for a getaway, set right in the centre of St. Ives made it easy to get to the restaurants, beach and shops without having to drive all weekend!

If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s cosy and clean then this is the place! Great location, shops and local amenities just a short away. It had everything that we needed, I would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again.

Great location. Brilliant power shower and fully equipped kitchen thank you !
Sarah, London
Very much enjoyed both the accommodation layout and the art and furnishings that made it feel really homely. It was a pleasure to sit in and enjoy the place as well as being minutes from all St Ives has to offer. The location is very quite with little car or pedestrian traffic to disturb you. Worked perfectly for a short break for two people and would have happily stayed there longer.
Martin
Thank you for a perfect week. We will definitely be looking at booking again for next year!

We had a wonderful stay in St Ives, thanks to the weather, but mostly to Shellseekers cottage. What a beautiful, comfortable cottage, we were quite sad to leave!

Have recommended The Cottage Boutique to family and friends. Thank you for an excellent service.

Lovely little cottage in the centre of St Ives. Perfect for couples looking for a cute romantic getaway.

We enjoyed our visit to St Ives and our stay at the cottage enormously. Shellseekers was exactly what we expected from your photos and description: compact but very comfortably furnished with nice decorating touches eg paintings by (presumably) local artists and seaside ornaments. The kitchen was very well equipped with high quality appliances and crockery. The Nespresso machine was a very welcome extra and the owner is very generous in providing capsules.

The bedroom and bathroom were beautiful and extremely comfortable. Overall, a most enjoyable stay. We would definitely book with and recommend your agency again.

Great little house in a very convenient location for the beaches and restaurants. All instructions were clear making it easy to find and when in the house all was explained. Would definitely stay here again !!
